Mr. Harp,
Thankyou foryour prompt reply. I guess we'll haveto agree to disagree an this matter. I do notfeelthat your
apparent efforts to trivialize, or create distance betweenthe parties (Burnham -Ward; Burnham USA; "sister
companies"; "related entities and affiliates", etal.), reflectwell on the governmental procurement process in
this instance. I'II oontinueto hope for better.
Having heard Councilmember Blom state at two public meetings, that he would essentially like to not remain
in office, I'm encouraged to learn from you, that someone else has filed.
could certainly understand Mr. Blom feeling that he's had enough.
Take care,
Adam

Subject: RE: Balboa Yacht Basin - Burnham -Ward
Good afternoon Mr_ Lever_
Our office is in receipt of ymu- letter alleging that Council Member Blom has a conflict of interest and should have
fecused himself trotter considering matters related to the Balboa I aclrt Basta Our office has preciously discussed these
alleged conflicts with Council Meinhef Blom, and he has autixg rpd oiu office to respand to these concern. ARer
ewdully rec.'iewing these allegatioms (which were pm-Lously made by forme[ -Council Member Herdmaa oho is running
against Coma/ Member Blom in the upcomiag election). we have determined that Council Member Blom does act have
a conflict of interest.
Specifically, in your correspondence you raise concerns about Are Food & Libations in Costa Mesa (Le., Arc *1 is you
correspondence). As you note, Burah— Ward preriottsly developed this property- howeverit was sold. and Burnham
R'afd na longer has an ownership interest ui the property. Aho, while the article you cite by Ms_ Samauth Gowen states
that Bumham ;Vard Properties manages the center, the new owner actively manages all fiaencial matters im of tag the
teuaats. and Bumham Ward Properties is not im ch-ed in matters that could have a financial impact on Arc Food &
I.ildhona
Also, you raise concerns about Are Butcher & Baker in Neuport Beach (i. e., Arc 92 in yow correspondence). I has.-e
discussed this issue with Council Member Blom and Burnham Wafd does not own the property or have any interest
therein Arc Butcher & Balctr's lease for the property is with a trust and Burnham Ward has no interest in the trust.
In conclusion, mu- office has not ideutifred any financial interest between Burnham Zk and and Ccgmcil Member Blom that
would constitute a conflict of interest.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Mayor O'Neill,
Thank you forthe courtesy of a reply. I know that sometimes when speaking to an issue in instances where
I've failed at efforts using what I'm told is common sense, I can revert to sarcasmor irony. I do not prefer that,
but believe it or not, it has been successful elsewhere... at times. And when it's not, there can be value in
determining where people's positions are on things. To that end here, are you contending that a
Councilmember having a land Iordjtenantfbusiness relationship, as indicated by multiple news sources, does
not create any conflict -of -interest, which wouldishould preclude that Councilmember from discussingfvoting
on a matter, if the matter involves "sister companies"; "related entities and affiliates", et al." of the landlord/
tenant/business relationship partners? Seriously, I value your opinion, and am open to the possibility of you
changing my mind on the ethics of subject.
Take care,
Adam
